Orșova - The Port and Ada Kaleh
Romanian landmark in Mehedinți county
Orșova, at the entrance to the Cazane, is the gateway to the Danube Gorge. The former island of Ada Kaleh (flooded in 1970 during the construction of the dam), with its mosque, bazaar and Turkish community, is now only a memory, but the photographic archive and the Turkish culture preserved by descendants make Orșova a place with a story.
